April 18 - 21, 2017.

Why?
To continue building and growing a community focused on cyber-physical systems.

Call for WiP Abstracts, Demos, and Posters

ICCPS 2017 seeks high-quality technical abstracts, demos, and posters describing
work-in-progress in the area of cyber-physical systems (CPS),
including preliminary work on theory, platform design and
implementation, verification and validation, empirical case studies,
and other work that has potential to advance the state of the art in
CPS. Authors of each accepted abstract will give a brief presentation at the WiP
session, and may also give a demo and/or have a poster afterward.

Focus Areas:
ICCPS 2017 work-in-progress abstracts, demos, and posters are
encouraged to focus on either of two main areas of interest: CPS foundations (the
traditional focus of ICCPS), or secure and resilient infrastructure CPS (the
focus of the former HiCoNS conference). The CPS foundations (CPSF) area focuses on core science and technology
for developing fundamental principles and platforms that underpin the
integration of cyber and physical elements. Application domains
include transportation, energy, water, agriculture, ecology,
supply-chains, medical and assistive technology, sensor and social
networks, and robotics. Relevant topics include, but are are not limited to:
security of cyber-physical systems (CPS), control and/or optimization of CPS,
machine learning, data mining/analytics, and/or game theory applied to CPS,
mechanism design for CPS, model-based design and verification of CPS, mobile
and cloud computing for CPS, signal processing for CPS, and human-in-the-loop
shared or supervisory control of CPS.
The secure and resilient infrastructure CPS (HiCoNS)
area focuses specifically on
the confluence of cyber-security, privacy, and CPS that impacts the
operation of critical infrastructures such as smart grids, water
distribution, transportation, healthcare, building automation, and
process control. Of particular interest is foundational work that cuts
across multiple application areas or advances scientific understanding
of underlying principles for the development of high confidence
(secure, reliable, robust, and trustworthy) networked CPS.

Abstract Submissions: All submitted abstracts must be
in English and consist of a single page in PDF format following the
CPS Week 2017
typesetting guidelines. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical
merit and innovation as well as their potential to stimulate interesting
discussions and exchanges of ideas at the conference. Both academic and
industrial submissions are encouraged. All accepted abstracts will be published in the ACM
Digital Library as part of the ICCPS 2017 proceedings.

Submissions must be attached to an email sent by 11:59pm
UTC-12 on Wednesday March 8, 2017 (FIRM) to both ICCPS 2017
Program co-Chairs, Chris
Gill and Bruno Sinpooli
with the subject line: ICCPS 2017 WiP submission.

Posters and Demos

In addition to giving a brief presentation of the
work, each accepted abstract will have the option of giving a demo or
having a poster (or neither or both). The poster and demo session will
provide a forum for researchers to showcase ongoing work and obtain
feedback from the CPS community, in addition to the discussions at the
WiP presentation session.

Authors wishing to give demos should clearly describe in their abstract what will be
demonstrated and how the contributions will be illustrated
interactively. If a demonstration requires wireless connectivity or other
special arrangements (in addition to a table and power which will be provided to all demos), please describe them clearly in the abstract as well.

Authors wish to have a poster should also mention that in the abstract, along with
a brief summary of what the poster will show.
